The Gaslight Anthem frontman Brian Fallon recently stopped by Vancouver, BC radio station 99.3 CFOX to play a short set of acoustic songs in front of a live studio audience. You can check out videos of Fallon playing two Gaslight tracks, a song by his side-project Molly and the Zombies, and a cover of Oasis’ “Don’t Look Back In Anger” below.

Fallon’s latest release with The Gaslight Anthem was the band’s August 2014 full-length Get Hurt, which was released through Island Records. The band’s currently in the middle of a North American tour in support of the album.

German/Canadian filmmaker Gabi Kislat recently put together a pretty kick-ass live video of Chuck Ragan performing his song, “The Boat,” and you can watch it below.

While the video includes Ragan’s performances in New York, Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto, a lot of the focus of this video is the fans singing their hearts out. It’s pretty damn cool, and I suggest checking it out, even if you’re not a fan of Chuck Ragan (but really, you should be anyway).

Former Blink-182 frontman Tom DeLonge has released a second track from his upcoming solo album, in the form of a lyric video for “The Invisible Parade.” Check it out below.

The song is the second of three songs DeLonge is premiering before the album, entitled To The Stars, is released on April 20th. You can preorder the album right here.

You’re undoubtedly aware by now, but in the interest of completeness: DeLonge and Blink-182 recently parted ways, and Alkaline Trio frontman Matt Skiba is currently playing shows with Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus. You can watch a few videos from Skiba’s first performance with Blink right here.

Earlier this month, Smoke Or Fire frontman Joe McMahon put some live, solo tracks up for streaming on his Bandcamp page. Now, he has announced plans to release a split 7″ with Billy Liar, who he’ll soon be touring the UK with, in addition to a new full-length album.

Check out the tour dates below, and be sure to stay tuned for more details on McMahon’s upcoming solo releases.

To understand what I mean, you can check out the track list below.

To the Stars is set to be released on April 20, 2015. Delonge has already released one track from the album, which you can hear for yourself here, with two more songs premiering on March 23rd and April 6th. Pre-orders are available here.
